Query on BSP

[amit mehta <gm...@gmail.com>]

I have a nrf52 DK, which was sitting idle until few hours earlier
today. I'm trying to first few tutorials (blinky led on nRF52 works
fine) from the mynewt ASF homepage and was wondering why the
bsp [1] for nrf52 and others such as stm32f4discovery as well is
so minimalist ?  Is it as per design of mynewt or some effort is
already under way to improve the BSPs for respective boards ?

[1] ~repos/apache-mynewt-core/hw/bsp/<target board>/include/bsp/bsp.h

Thanks,
Amit

"You may just be running into the code organization". - Yes indeed :)
I should have browsed the code a little more. Thanks a lot for
swift response.

Thanks,

What\u2019s missing?  You may just be running into the code organization 
\u2014 we try and make the BSPs as small as possible, because there are so 
many per MCU.  If you\u2019re looking for more hardware specific code, best 
to look at:

- hw/mcu/nordic/nrf52xxx/: contains HAL implementation for Nordic 
processor
- hw/drivers/: contains a few useful drivers
- hw/hal/include/hal: HAL headers you can include and use

Most of the configuration of the board itself is done in hal_bsp.c:

- hw/bsp/nrf52dk/src/hal_bsp.c

If there are other things missing tho that you\u2019d like to see \u2014 
we\u2019re happy to add them as options or help you figure out how to do 
them.

Wish that were me.
